band-aids and camera film are like the perfect literal textbook examples of institutional racism, but chuds are way, way too fuckin stupid to think about things that hard. even if it's part of a required course at university, they will simply not pay attention

Yorkshire Pudding posted:Not being provocative, genuinely curious, how is camera film racist? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/25/lens/sarah-lewis-racial-bias-photography.html White skin became the baseline for color correcting in photography, meaning that dark skin needed "touching up." This reinforces a racist notion that white skin = correct skin. The article does a better job of getting into the details.

Yorkshire Pudding posted:Not being provocative, genuinely curious, how is camera film racist? this was a topic I learned about in college, a sociology course I think, but this article sums it up pretty well https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/25/lens/sarah-lewis-racial-bias-photography.html quote:Light skin became the chemical baseline for film technology, fulfilling the needs of its target dominant market. For example, developing color-film technology initially required what was called a Shirley card. When you sent off your film to get developed, lab technicians would use the image of a white woman with brown hair named Shirley as the measuring stick against which they calibrated the colors. kind of a problem inherent in the technology, but some companies were better than others and it was a conscious decision quote:Earl Kage, Kodak’s former manager of research and the head of Color Photo Studios, received complaints during this time from chocolate companies saying that they “weren’t getting the right brown tones on the chocolates” in the photographs. Furniture companies also were not getting enough variation between the different color woods in their advertisements. Concordia University professor Roth’s research shows that Kage had also received complaints before from parents about the quality of graduation photographs — the color contrast made it nearly impossible to capture a diverse group — but it was the chocolate and furniture companies that forced Kodak’s hand. Kage admitted, “It was never black flesh that was addressed as a serious problem at the time.”

I don't know if this is a good illustration of the issue, but it did strike me just how invisible the black model is, compared to white models in this video. https://i.imgur.com/34MFtZq.mp4 edit: also that the entire concept of these dresses is magnificently silly.

You know how sometimes devs will get together for a game jam weekend and they show off weird little games they made, most of which don’t actually end up being widely distributed if at all, and are mostly about showing off interesting concepts, sometimes in ways that are almost not a game as we understand them at all, and also ways to present those concepts in more “normal” game concepts or code structures? That’s what fashion shows like that are about. It’s insider-to-insider concept demos and craftsmanship.

It's one of those things where if you just take it at face value, you'd probably come away with the conclusion that that's just how it is, like a law of nature that black skin doesn't show up on film very well. Rather than a conscious decision.

While the skin tone issue continued into digital photography, it's mostly been fixed now, this example is 'mostly' a tech problem here. The camera is almost certainly a phone. Phone camera sensors are tiny so the dynamic range is very poor. Add in the poor lighting conditions and the camera just cannot handle it. Even the white people are blown out. The footage has probably been compressed a lot to further reducing colour detail. A higher quality dedicated camera wouldn't struggle with that so much.

It's not something I was taught in school a quarter of a century ago so I had to learn on the job, but I'm told that it's more commonly part of what kids get taught nowadays.

Read After Burning posted:https://twitter.com/davidmdejong/status/1611393082037002240 That stuff all reads like someone's wank material. Like this is just another go round of conservatives finding the sissy hypnosis and bimbofication stuff and assuming it's a real manifesto and phenomenon. Though it's kinda funny that this porn logic is pretty much indistinguishable from bad medical takes from 80 years ago, complete with "eh transmen probably exist, idk I guess this stuff probably applies to them ~somehow~ too"

What I've heard from former bartenders is that on average the men's bathroom was worse than the women's. But, the worst states of the women's bathrooms were worse than the worst states of the men's bathroom.
